In addition to the fair, various individuals, groups and associations hold other events at the Fairgrounds. While some of these events are private, many are open to the public and involve the use of one or more buildings on the grounds. Tobacco use has been determined to contribute to ill health in humans. Tobacco advertising detracts from family events and often attempts to appeal to minors. The Fair Association, through the Board, has an opportunity to create and sustain an environment that supports non-tobacco use through a tobaccofree policy, rule enforcement, and adult-peer role modeling during the fair and other events. Therefore, it shall be the policy of the McHenry County Fair Association to prohibit the use of tobacco use, and tobacco advertising, in various locations of the fair, including buildings, barns and gathering areas as identified in the guidelines below. 15. Tobacco Use Guidelines: The McHenry County Fair Association shall: a. Prohibit the use of tobacco in all buildings, barns, grandstands and some other public gathering areas. b. Post signage identifying both areas where smoking is prohibited and where it is allowed. c. Prohibit advertising of tobacco products on the fairgrounds. d. Prohibit the sale of tobacco on the fairgrounds. e. Prohibit the distribution of free tobacco products on the fairgrounds. f. Refuse to accept money directly from a tobacco company for sponsorship or prize money. g. Extend this policy to other individuals, groups or agencies that rent or lease the property. h. This policy is effective the date of passage by the Board of Directors.
